The Ghana Police Service says it will prosecute two Nigerians who were arrested for allegedly killing a fellow Nigerian, Nkemujika Uzorchuku Eze, after accusing him of withholding proceeds from their alleged internet fraud activities.
The suspects, identified as Daniel Victor Eze and David Oko Ewa, were arrested by the Northern Regional Police Command following the discovery of the 36-year-old victim’s body in his residence at Sanzirigu in Tamale on Saturday.
According to a statement issued by the Regional Public Relations Unit of the Ghana Police Service on Sunday night, preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased, his wife, Peace Uzorchuku, the two suspects and another Nigerian national, Godwin Nwafor, were living together in a three-bedroom apartment.
The statement noted that police began investigations after a report that the victim had been found lying motionless in a pool of blood inside his bedroom.
